A cross between a comic festival and a literary event, Write Like is the ultimate literary-fan experience.
Write like ... Disney, Star Wars, MARVEL, AVATAR. Authors Akila Walcott, Anuja Varghese, Aseja Dave, Lishai Peel, Patricia A. Jackson and Stephanie Williams teach you how to write like ... you. Your favourite writers from your favourite comics, TV shows and novels share how your favourite stories were written. A day filled with creativity, inspiration and, of course, writing. This is a free event for youth who are beginner and seasoned writers. Learn new techniques, get feedback and connect with fellow writers. Presented by Hamilton Verse, with support from the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
